"Kenneth Masters and Gums have undeniable chemistry and clearly bring out the best in one another," says Willamette Weekly hip-hop critic TJ Love. "This type of quality only comes from individuals who have put in their 10,000 hours. It's not an accident."
Black Boy Awesome (BBA) started as a response to the suppression of hip hop in Portland, Oregon where hip hop shows are regularly shut down by the police.
Today, BBA is more than a reaction, it is a record label. Now based in Oakland, California, BBA releases the music of Kenneth Masters, collaborating musicians and artists, and releases great works of hip hop on limited edition vinyl.
